I think it was p0011

Accepted Answer

Okay,

This means that the camshaft position sensor is detecting that the camshaft is over advanced versus the tarket timing. Most likely, the camshaft position sensor is bad and need to be replaced.

Good Luck. Hit the ACCEPT button. Leave positive feedback if I have been helpful. Thank you. Dave
